Phytochemicals from oriental herbs have been reported to exhibit useful functions as anti-viral, skin and hair care. Since cyclodextrins have hydrophobic cavities, they are easy to assemble with small hydrophobic molecules. The encapsulation into cyclodextrin will affect slow degradation of useful chemical compounds like phytochemicals. Phytochemicals encapsulation products by cyclodextrin, such as shampoo, hair tonic, body wash and cream, were carried out to investigate the functional changes for toxicity, hair growth, antimicrobial activity and hydroxyproline content. We prepared the cosmetics containing phytochemical supramolecules by mixing the surfactants, fragrances and the crude extracts of eight oriental herbs with cyclodextrin. And we have tested the animal system for the hair growth and hydroxyproline content and toxicity. We used three microorganisms for test to antimicrobial activity. In these studies, we suggest the supramolecular encapsulation of phytochemicals can give the benefits of advantageous changes for the increasing of antibiotic activity and hair growth and delaying the aging of skin.
